- Priyanka Thakur

The number of MBBS and postgraduate seats in Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Sector 32 are set to increase by 27% in the coming five years.

It has been decided by the health department that the 1.6 acre land near the GMCH campus, which was earlier earmarked for the creation of Advanced Centre for Infectious Diseases will now be used to build an academic block.

Ajay Chagti, the health secretary, highlighted that the health department is working on building the infrastructure for additional seats. “We will be able to gradually increase seats by 27% over a period of next five years. The engineering wing has already prepared rough estimates for the academic wing and the same will be vetted by the standing finance committee,” he added.
